Chrissy Teigen and John Legend have welcomed a baby boy via surrogate.
The couple shocked their Instagram followers by revealing their son Wren Alexander’s birth in a slideshow Wednesday.
“For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted four children,” Teigen, 37, began the lengthy post, revealing they began pursuing surrogacy as an option in 2021.
She and Legend, 44, subsequently met their “perfect match” surrogate, Alexandra, who was the inspiration for Wren’s middle name.
“All our wishes and dreams aligned,” Teigen gushed of meeting Alexandra. “I wanted to be her friend, I wanted our children to play, I wanted dinner together, I wanted to lay my head on her belly and be able to feel the hiccups and kicks. I wanted them to be in our lives.”
While the couple’s first embryo transfer with their gestational carrier did not survive, they were “overjoyed to learn Alexandra had become pregnant with a little boy” amid Teigen’s pregnancy with Esti.
Wren arrived on June 19 “just minutes before midnight.”
News of Legend and Teigen’s “incredible” new addition comes five months after Esti joined the family.
The pair also share daughter Luna, 7, and son Miles, 5, who were born in April 2016 and May 2018, respectively.
While the model announced in August 2020 that she was pregnant with baby No. 3, she had a “life-saving abortion” the following month due to a partial placenta abruption.
Teigen named her late son Jack, sharing intimate hospital photos with her Instagram followers at the time.
“We never decide on our babies’ names until … just before we leave the hospital,” she captioned the September 2022 upload. “But we, for some reason, had started to call this little guy in my belly Jack. So he will always be Jack to us.”
The “Cravings” cookbook author, who has continued to speak candidly about her grief journey, revealed in February 2022 that she was undergoing in vitro fertilization.
“1 billion shots later … we have another on the way,” she captioned her pregnancy announcement in August of that same year.
“I don’t think I’ll ever walk out of an appointment with more excitement than nerves. But so far, everything is perfect and beautiful and I’m feeling hopeful and amazing.”
When Esti was born on Jan. 13, Legend praised his wife’s “strength and resilience.”
The “All of Me” singer also gushed over how Luna and Miles “embrace[d]” their younger sister in the infant’s Instagram debut.
“I’m so, so grateful, but that doesn’t seem like a big enough word,” he wrote.
Teigen and Legend have been married since September 2013, seven years after they met on the set of the EGOT winner’s “Stereo” music video.
